<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Inspector43, post: 6459257, member: 89213&quot;]I quit collecting US Stamps in 2001. They were making too much wallpaper. Cost a bunch to keep up. The US Mint has started down the same track.</p><p><br /></p><p>The big difference between the two is the premium. The USPS doesn&#039;t charge a premium. They don&#039;t need to. Their product gets sold at face value and the USPS doesn&#039;t have to perform any service for what they charged. In a few years the stamps lose most of their value. They end up being sold for 50 cents on the dollar. Or, used as postage on large envelopes.</p><p><br /></p><p>The US Mint premium serves the same purpose. Make a profit on some and put the rest in a vault. Coins are not worth more than face value after the excitement wears off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
